How is decorative concrete colored? The Technicians at Concrete Forever.com use two methods to color
decorative concrete. Using the first method, color is spread onto the surface then worked into the surface using
hand tools. After the color is applied and worked into the fresh cement, a release/hardener is applied.
The release/hardener serves a duel purpose. It adds a tremendous amount of strength and it highlights and acts
as a second color, which gives the stamped pattern and overall color a defining and distinguished look. The
second method used is when the color is mixed directly inside the concrete at the concrete plant and mixed
inside the truck. The concrete is the colored throughout from the top to the bottom instead of just ¼” into the
surface.

Due to the wide array of patterns and colors available, and the cost of stamped concrete in relation to the
natural materials installation, the choice of stamped concrete is becoming more popular and frequent.

Colors and patterns for stamped concrete are often chosen to blend with other stone or tile elements at the
residence. Complex designs incorporating steps, courtyards, and fountains can be achieved. Stamped concrete
can also be blended with other decorative concrete elements such as exposed aggregate finishes and acid-etch
staining.
It wasn’t long ago when deciding on a driveway or patio material was easy: asphalt or concrete. Today, the
concrete choice has expanded to include a multitude of decorative concrete options.
